I love that biodiesel costs less than regular diesel now... and it's even less than unleaded fuel. I love my TDI.

What do you use for feedstock? Or do you actually buy the biodiesel itself. Where do you get it from?

[majiktt]

There's a place in town called Arizona Petroleum that sells it as either a B20 petro blend or B100 (pure biodiesel). I'm going to head over there during my lunch break.

I haven't really looked into making it myself. I don't mind supporting a local distributor and American soy farmers.

I'm pretty interested in the making of it from an energy economics standpoint. It's supposedly a very simple process. like lots of people make it at home in their garage from oil acquired from restaurants. But, obviously, the home market is more time consuming.

The other factor is that soy isn't necessarily the most efficient oil crop. I don't know what is, but you can bet that whatever it is, that's exactly what they'll use in large scale mass production. =)

They're saying $5 a gallon for unleaded post-Rita
